'75 w115 300D without Primer Pump!
So apparently my primer pump was removed and I need to replace all filters on this neglected beast - a good prime procedure in lieu of a primer pump? This car has not run in awhile so it needs a full service, valve adjustment, etc. - best way to prime minus a prime pump? Thanks!

On some of the older models the Fuel Filter was not a Spin-on type Fuel Filter.
I have seen pictures where bolted onto that type of Filter Housing was a Hand Primer; sort of a large Button that you pushed. The only think I can think without a Hand Primer that would help is if you filled the Filter Housing with clean Diesel Fuel. Also, while I do not know if your Fuel Injection Pump has one but the older Bosch Fuel Injection pumps used to have one or 2 Air Bleed Screws on the Fuel Injection Pump Housing so that when you cranked the Engine the Air Quickly bled out of the Screw. |
what I do is unhook the return line, cap off the line going to the tank, and leave open the line leaving the filter... then hook a shop vac blowing into the fuel filler neck.
a few seconds later, fuel flows through the filters, and out the return hose... then hook it back to the return line, and voila! primed. |

See that round disk lookin' thingy next to the fuel filter??
That's your primer pump. The 115 300D had a different style than all the others. |
Some one posted some pics of the Hand Primer in the other thread he started.

You could also put a Mity Vac on the cigar hose return line and suck fuel thru the system.

most shop vacs have a decent filter on the output air joint... Mine is HEPA rated... I'm good with that for my fuel tank. |
